Ha ! then I stand corrected, and sorry for my above rambling.
Ok then, maybe one of the helpful Tomcat experts here will be able to
help after all. Not me, I'm afraid.
Maybe you *could* try the yum version then ? that one is almost
guaranteed to start on your system. ;-)
10..9..8.. (countdown for me this time until someone here reacts to
that heretical suggestion)
Maybe a less heretical suggestion :
- install the yum package
- save it's /etc/init.d/tomcat6 startup script
- de-install the yum package
- restore the saved /etc/init.d/tomcat6 script and modify it according
to your "real tomcat" locations
Maybe at least you'll spot the differences.
